Shawn

Shawn testified on Day 8 about accompanying Carolyn to Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach house when they were teenagers. He said he waited outside while she went in, saw her return with hundred-dollar bills, and later relayed calls from women requesting Carolyn for work to arrange appointments. He distinguished his own observations from information he attributed to Carolyn or Virginia, including a reference to Maxwell.

Shawn also described Melissa, whom he said was 16, visiting the Palm Beach house with Carolyn and later going alone. He said Melissa stayed for about an hour and returned with hundred-dollar bills. The court admitted under seal a photograph he identified as being from Melissa's 16th birthday, and it instructed jurors to disregard a separate answer after sustaining a defense objection.

Defense counsel questioned Shawn about his descriptions and identification of callers, including his uncertainty about one caller's accent or origin and when he first identified Maxwell as a caller. Shawn said he had never seen, spoken with, or met Maxwell. He also acknowledged accepting money from Carolyn for gas, using drugs with her during the period at issue, prior felony convictions, and a three-year prison sentence. The government did not conduct redirect examination.
